@sbcglobal.net | List of Gateways for top ISP? Hey, so I've been asked to find a list of the gateways for the top US ISPs. I can find the list of the IPSs but is there any place online, or does anyone here know, what the gateways for those IPS are?
Thanks in Advance! | |

Cox here in Tucson only probably has 200+ gateways, At least what I refer as the default Gateway(CMTS)IP's... | |

| Just check out all the IP's, start at 1.0.0.0 and the last one will be at 255.255.255.254.
You're obviously either a troll or a hacker, I'm guessing troll, so there's a little food for you.

| Okay, so what you guys are saying is that there is no one Gateway that all traffic goes through per ISP and that depending on your location you'll get a random one?
Sorry, I'm not too technologically savvy about this, so I do appreciate your help. | |

00000 | Re: List of Gateways for top ISP? What is the context of your question? Are you talking about a gateway as in:
IP: 10.10.10.25
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.10.10.1
Or a Gateway as in your ISP's edge router? | |

Yes, there will be many gateways -- obviously, you don't want customers in L.A. using a gateway in Seattle, or vice versa. But if you have 2 nearby town such S.F. and Oakland, it's possible to use a gateway in the other city. As a matter of fact, previously, I used to use a gateway in Everett, but now I'm using one in Seattle. (I'm between them, but much closer to Everett)
Here are some addresses out of my router:
IPADDR0=71.113.1.x
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
NETWORK0=71.113.1.0
BRDCAST0=71.113.1.255
GATEWAY=71.113.1.1
DNSADDR=68.238.128.12
DNSADDR1=68.238.64.12

| Okay, maybe I should state why exactly I am asking this and maybe you guys can think of how I can better phrase my question.
We have a website that has a file people download from all across the USA. We want people to be able to have the file be downloaded faster, and so our operations team told us that they want to know the gateways of the top ISPs in the US so they can start doing tests regarding connectivity. Would giving them a random gateway from all the major ISPs do the trick? | |

@sbcglobal.net | Okay, a different question. Can you guys recommend a service that has a cluster of servers around the country that would (for a fee) speed test connection to your site/download server and generate the results for you? | |

@sbcglobal.net | Sadly I don't think Tools has what I need, as it needs to test a website (not my machine) from geographically distributed points preferably running off residential ISPs. | |

@QWEST.NET | Have the file hosted by a cloud network like Amazon S3 cloud has. Or any other cloud hosting service. | |

Golden, CO | Re: List of Gateways for top ISP? Dead thread I know, but sounds like the OP needs a CDN. Amazon, Softlayer (via InterNAP), SingleHop (via Panther Express), Rackspace (via LimeLight) and SimpleCDN are all options. | |
